Ride Control Evaluation

Schedule Service

If you’ve heard a concerning bump, clunk, or groan while driving over bumpy roads, you may have an issue with your ride control system. It keeps you safe and comfortable when traversing difficult terrain, and protects your vehicle from damage.

VIP’s Certified Automotive Professionals will take your vehicle on a Ride Control Evaluation and visually inspect its shocks, struts, suspension components, and control arms to determine the issue and restore its smooth ride.

Additional VIP Tires & Alignment Services

Shock & Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts keep your vehicle balanced and riding smoothly by contributing to the overall safety and stability of its steering and suspension. Ensure yours are in good condition with a visit to VIP.

Suspension & Steering

Is your vehicle rocking or dipping over bumps or drifting around corners? If yes, come into VIP to get its shocks and struts checked by one of our Certified Automotive Professionals.

Steering Repair

Worn out steering components can lead to challenging, reduced, or even no steering control. If your steering is stiff or you’re hearing odd sounds when you steer, VIP will find the root cause and fix it.

Flat Repair

If you have a tire that is flat, losing pressure, or punctured, VIP’s tire experts will repair it if possible. If not, they’ll help you find the tire you need at a great price with VIP’s 200% Lowest Price Tire Promise.

4-Wheel Alignment

If a smooth ride, even tire wear, and improved fuel efficiency sounds good to you, come into VIP for a 4-wheel alignment. We’ll ensure your car is driving straight.

Tire Balancing & Rotation

Your vehicle’s performance is tied to its tires. When they’re balanced, it drives smoothly and more quietly. When they are rotated, they wear evenly, which results in better handling. Get a FREE tire rotation check at VIP.

Tire Installation

A new set of tires will take you not only to run errands and to work, but on many adventures. Maximize your investment by having VIP expertly install them.
